Description

Six close friends, a who’s who in the Italian natural wine world. Their families have been vacationing together for years. Then they had the opportunity to buy a vineyard together, one that was going to be ripped out. Their first red bottling is 100% Parpato, facing north at 80m above sea level. The vines are planted ad alberello (bush vines) and are 40 years old. Harvest was on August 31st, 2019 at yields of 4,500kg/ha (roughly 31 hl/ha). Fermentation was spontaneous in stainless steel. One part of the harvest was crushed and destemmed, with maceration lasting 25 days. The other part (around 40%) was crushed whole cluster and macerated for a couple weeks. Aging for 6 months in stainless steel on the fine lees; bottled without fining or filtration.
